Ingredients

1 pkg active dry yeast or 2 tsp fast rising yeast

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup + 2 Tblspn milk

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tblspn melted butter

1 egg - at room temp - beaten

1 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

Grease inside of 6 crumpets rings.

In a bowl or jug, with a spout, mix together water, milk & sugar.

Heat in microwave to scald milk & then cool to lukewarm

Sprinkle the yeast over the lukewarm liquid & let sit for about 5 mins until yeast has softened. Stir

Add to yeast mixture the beaten egg, salt & melted butter. Mix well

Add flour & beat until no lumps remain

Cover container with plastic wrap & leave in a warm place & let rise until batter has doubled, 35 - 40 mins

Beat down lightly & let batter rest for about 5 mins

Heat electric griddle to about 365 degrees & brush with melted shortening

Place rings on griddle & heat well

Fill the rings at least 1/2 full with batter, dividing the batter between the 6 rings

Cook until bubbles form on the tops & start to pop & the bottoms are golden

The crumpets will pull away from the sides of the rings slighty

Using tongs, lift the rings off the crumpets & flip them over

Cook for about 2 mins until lighly golden

NOTE:- I like to use a container with a spout to ease pouring

You can cook the crumpets on an electric griddle or in a heavy skillet on top of the stove. Just make sure your skillet is completely flat or the batter will run out under the edge of the ring.

If you don't have crumpet rings, save tuna cans, shrimp cans etc & cut off the tops & bottoms. They make perfect rings

A spot of tea in the garden you say. Got to hold your pinkie just right though. You know Frodo, I've had these rings forever & never thought about using them for eggs. Great idea.

I love the crumpets from the store, so I imagine homemade ones are going to be even better. I am saving those tuna cans. I hope I remember why after I gat them saved. -Lori
